congressman issa, the administration is saying the taliban's professional and businesslike. now we see them beating women almost on a daily basis. we see the segregation in schools now. it's only a matter of time before women won't go to work or schools. we get these reports of young girls ripped away from their moms and dads and married off to taliban members. is that professional and businesslike in your view? in the videos of women being beaten in your view, how does somebody make such an ignorant statement as they have?ne >> it's so naive. and let's introduce the new taliban government, the new team. one who actually harbored bin laden. a network famous for tying itself with al qaeda. l and the taliban five that got released from guantanamo courtesy of president obama now are part of the afghan taliban government. and the idea that they are going to try to negotiate to legitimize this government, that they can somehow trust them is one of the worst foreign policy debacles i think i've seen in my lifetime. these are terrorists. i do know what, they have a lot of weapons n

california congressman darrell issa joins us with an update.ongressman, you were at the hearing today. your reaction to the secretary of state's testimony? >> liz, many questions, few answers. one in particular in the statement both in an email and proa website the secretary's people said that you should not count on the u.s. government to get you out of afghanistan. he absolutely rebuked that, except we took it from his website and we received it in an email when we asked about getting help getting more of our american citizens out of afghanistan. this was just one of many cases in which this administration and this secretary are in denial of the fact. the fact is they sent false messages including the president denying that the country was going to fall. now they want us to believe they simply didn't know until the last few days, even after 85% of the country had fallen they were still in denial. then when it altered into chaos they act like it was a surprise. he didn't have any answers to any of that today, it is still going on. elizabeth: c

there is congressman issa. was it expressed to the secretary either one or invited to come here or alerted to remain there? i only ask because i think we all agree that if he could have been here in person, would have been better. it was an option or for whatever reason because i want to make sure that it's clear that the secretary may have done no wrong even though many of us would prefer him to be here. >> secretary has done no wrong. it was an option. i made it as an option as i did with every member. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> i recognize representative bass the chair of global human rights for five minutes. >> thank you very much, mr. chair. thank you, secretary blinken for attending this hearing and for your patience for putting up with the theatrics of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. i want to thank you again for spending the time and agreeing to take everyone's questions for five minutes. the departure from afghanistan has provided unprecedented insight into our foreign policy in addit

these days, all you have to do is write a check, like $2 million, as darrell issa did in 2003, and can you sponsor collecting all those signatures. if you raise the threshold, it's harder but more meaningful and easier for people to decide at the end. >> is this across party lines? or democrats want it one way or republicans want be another way? >> i think everybody sees the benefit here. i think you'll find some people who say we want to keep it low so we can get involved. they need to think twice about that. by keeping it so low, are you literally saddling people with an impossible decision? think about 46 people here, it was pretty tough. larry elder made it look good. he got 46%. why? he was well-known. he had a following. what about the others? i don't want to discourage any kind of participation. it's important for the democracy, but you want to make it meaningful. some of these adjustments, while keeping the recall, which is expressed approval of 75% of the state, we should keep it, but maybe we should think about making some adjustments to make it easier for people. >> gavin ne
